March 8^{th<\/sup> 2019, Quantico, VA. UEC Electronics successfully executed a weeklong exercise with their Mobile Electric Hybrid Power Sources (MEHPS) system at the Army\u2019s Technical Support and Operational Analysis (TSOA) event. \u00a0The MEHPS is a Marine Corps 10 kilowatt (kW) hybrid-power solution designed to deliver power redundancy, fuel savings, and better reliability to traditional fuel-fired generators.<\/p>\n}

The MEHPS trailer was towed over 500 miles to Quantico, VA, traversed unimproved roads to the test site, and cranked up the first time in sub-zero temperatures with no reliability or maintenance issues.<\/p>\n

During the evaluation, MEHPS powered varying loads ranging from 1.5kW \u2013 6kW throughout the week including portable heaters, network switches, servers, laptops, printers, lights, and 50 radio charging stations.<\/p>\n

MEHPS was left unattended overnight in sub-zero temperatures \u2013 the results were exceptional!\u00a0 During the unattended period no power drops or faults were experienced and only a single gallon of fuel was consumed in a 10-hour period. \u00a0\u00a0Dr. Philip Stone, Electrical Engineer and MEHPS design engineer said, \u201cPower can\u2019t be seen, but when it\u2019s not available, missions fail \u2013 MEHPS is a game changer for the US Military.\u201d\u00a0 Joe Porter, Electrical Engineer and MEHPS design engineer agreed, \u201cThe fuel savings exceeded our expectations, in part due to the amount of solar collection we were able to capture during the partly cloudy cold days.\u201d\u00a0 David Taylor, Director of Business Development for Army programs offered, \u201cBoth the Marine Corps and Army are evaluating the MEHPS solution to determine where this critical capability will best support the warfighter.\u201d<\/p>\n

A second, test event is scheduled to begin in late April.\u00a0 MEHPS will be evaluated in the US Army\u2019s Maneuver Support, Sustainment, and Protection Integration Experiment (MSSPIX) 19 held in Fort Leonard Wood, MO in late April.<\/p>\n
